Can one clone one data center instance (or its database) to another data center instance with all the projects and their issues?

Hi @b5krunner 

Yes, it is possible by backup and restore method!!

Please follow the guide here

Create a backup

Restore the backup to an instance

If you have deployed the application on any of the cloud platforms, you can also take the AMI image and restore the image to create a new instance with all the files intact

Thanks,
